Love Don’t Pay the Rent
Sometimes it can be easy for us to forget that the musicians and DJs that we see in clubs are real humanoids with normal, everyday lives. All we see are the parts of their lives that revolve around music. And it’s always interesting to find out that these musicians, who can seem like celebrities when…
Questionable
I saw this video on Philip Sherburne’s blog yesterday, and let’s just say that it rubbed me the wrong way. This isn’t meant to diss Mr. Sherburne, though he obviously has ties to the people making this “documentary”, but what a steaming pile of horseshit. That guy talking about finding someone to bring techno “legitimacy”…
Big Tings A Gwan
As I have noted here before, school has been killing me for the last month. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be graduating in just under two weeks which means I will finally have time to getting around to all the ISM things I have had in the works. In the meantime, I have only…
Post-Spring-Break Update
So yeah, my spring break trip to Chicago may or may not have resembled the above picture, I’ll leave that to you to figure out. On the real though, I had a good time chilling with my boy Noleian Reusse and crew at Transamoeba Studios. I’m gonna do a full post on the trip where…
Numbers (aka Welcome New Readers)
When ISM started, I honestly had no idea how many people would even care. I didn’t have Site Meter installed from the jump off, so I can’t say exactly how many people viewed us in the first couple weeks of our existence. Since the Omar-S interview was up our first day, I imagine nearly all…
More on Omar-S
The recent Omar-S interview I did for RA kicked up a good bit of dirt all over the interwebs dance discussion areas. The comments on the interview itself are pretty widely varied, with plenty of the kind of moronic reaction you would expect from people who can’t stand to hear something that comes from outside…
techno as composition-the antidote to the “soul-less” charge
Aside from the question of aesthetics and personal preference, few casual listeners realize that techno, unlike its more straightforward verse-chorus-verse-structured musical peers, does not rely on a recording of a performance, but on a recording of sound directly from the sheets of musical notation, as MIDI data performs the function of sheet music, in the…
More 412 Shenanigans
The first installment of the Beat Aesthetic was quite a success! We brought in a huge soundsystem that almost looked out of place for the room we played in, but it helped provide a nice intimate feeling for the dancers and people chilling out on the couches. I got to drop a nice selection of…
Items of Interest
Just got back last night from a little trip to Rehoboth Beach with some of our B-more crew which was as enjoyable as ever. This time we brought a little portable record player with us and rocked some jazz, soul, dub, and rock LPs while we chilled out and played video games. I read a…
